About

I have spent over three decades in capital markets and structured finance, designing, executing, and scaling securitization platforms and institutional capital strategies across multiple market cycles. My background spans asset backed securities, residential mortgage backed securities, structured credit, investor relations, and regulated capital formation, with experience at both bulge-bracket institutions and scaled operating platforms. I began my career at Bank of America Securities, where I served as Managing Director and Head of ABS and RMBS Structured Finance Banking, leading large-scale securitization platforms and institutional investor relationships during a formative period for modern securitized markets. Later, as Chief Financial Officer and Head of Capital Markets at Renovate America, I built and led the capital markets function and distributed over three billion dollars of assets through term securitizations to a global institutional investor base. Having worked through multiple periods of market disruption, my approach has been shaped by understanding where structures, liquidity, governance, and investor confidence tend to break first, and designing around those risks
